How to make your CMM run faster (Global S 7.10.7)

I am rerunning a DCC job on my Global S 7.10.7 CMM.

The job was originally programmed for an older 1612CHN.

I changed the movespeed in the PCDMIS program from 80 to 100.

I changed the acceleration of x,y,z from 50 to 2500.

This did not really help make the machine go must faster as I am calibrating right now and its taking forever.

What are all the variables that play into the speed/efficiency of a program? And if anyone has experience on a 7.10.7, what should I change those values to?

Thank you!!!

Until you 'run' the program, those program speeds will not apply to the probe-cal speeds (I've proved this), even with the probe-cal move speed set to 500mm/sec, until it reads the 500mm/sec in the program (by executing), it will use the internal 'default' movespeed for calibration. I don't know why, and it may be different on you hardware.

It also appears that you are using percent instead of absolute for movespeed, or you may think you are using absolute when in fact you are using percent, you may also need to change it to absolute, then use the parameters here: https://www.pcdmisforum.com/forum/pc...rs=&viewfull=1

If you hit F5, and go to Part/Machine, is the box checked for display absolute speeds? If it is unchecked, your speed will be 100 percent, if not, your move speed will be 100mm/s.

Increasing move speed is most useful when there are significant distances between move points and/ or features.

Making sure that your probe movements are optimal is a good bang for the buck as well. By this I mean minimal prehits/ retracts, Making sure that the probe is not traveling from one end of the part to the other and back again. Measure feature by feature rather than dimension by dimension, i.e. if there are things that could be measured while traveling to a feature on the other side of the part, then go ahead and measure them along the way.

Absolute speeds = best results!

Fly mode.

And FASTPROBE. You can turn it off n on as needed and it will reduce your program run time. Parts I'm working on now have gone from 10:34 to 9:01 by eliminating garbage move points and running FASTPROBE (tightest tolerances are 0.05mm TP and profiles at 0.250mm).
